Acoustic-mechanical multifunctional metamaterials extend beyond the conventional application scope of single-domain acoustic or mechanical metamaterials. Its significant potential in fields such as aerospace, marine engineering, and mechanical manufacturing underscores broad prospects for future development. A central challenge in such multifunctional design, particularly in two-port systems, lies in enhancing additional functionalities without compromising the original acoustic performance. In this paper, a novel multifunctional metamaterial that achieves high performance in both acoustic and mechanical domains was developed. Acoustic functionality was realized by exploiting the impedance manipulation characteristics of double resonant cavities in a two-port system. Connecting multiple such cavities with staggered resonant frequencies enabled ultra-broadband absorption, yielding an average absorption coefficient of 0.73 within 120–3350 Hz using an ultra-thin structure of only 46 mm. For mechanical performance, the integration of lattice and chiral structures yielded remarkable improvements. The lattice-based metamaterial exhibited an 80.4% increase in specific plateau stress, indicating superior load-bearing stability. The chiral-based metamaterial achieved a specific compressive strength of 8.87 ± 0.41 MPa·cm³/g and a specific energy absorption of 3.41 ± 0.27 kJ/kg at a low density of 0.34 g/cm³, demonstrating exceptional efficiency. Crucially, the acoustic and mechanical components are decoupled in design, allowing the mechanical core to be replaced to meet different application demands without affecting the acoustic performance in the two-port system. This decoupling metamaterial offers a new paradigm for designing versatile multifunctional metamaterials.
声-力学多功能超材料超越了传统的单畴声学或力学超材料的应用范围。它在航空航天、海洋工程和机械制造等领域的巨大潜力凸显了未来发展的广阔前景。这种多功能设计的核心挑战,特别是在双端口系统中,在于在不影响原始声学性能的情况下增强附加功能。本文研制了一种具有声学和力学双重性能的新型多功能超材料。利用双孔系统中双谐振腔的阻抗操纵特性实现了声学功能。将多个这样的谐振频率交错的空腔连接起来,实现了超宽带吸收,使用仅46毫米的超薄结构,在120-3350 Hz范围内产生0.73的平均吸收系数。对于机械性能,晶格和手性结构的集成产生了显著的改进。晶格基超材料的比高原应力增加了80.4%,表明其具有良好的承载稳定性。在0.34 g/cm³的低密度下,手性基超材料的比抗压强度为8.87±0.41 MPa·cm³/g,比能量吸收为3.41±0.27 kJ/kg,表现出优异的效率。至关重要的是,声学和机械组件在设计上是解耦的,允许更换机械核心以满足不同的应用需求,而不会影响双端口系统的声学性能。这种去耦超材料为设计多用途多功能超材料提供了一种新的范例。

To improve the lateral resistance and seismic resilience of cold-formed steel (CFS) structures, a novel prefabricated CFS frame with double-layer X-shaped braced shear panels (CFS-DXBP) is proposed. Quasi-static tests were conducted on two full-scale specimens to investigate their failure mechanisms, shear strength, lateral stiffness, energy dissipation capacity, and ductility, with particular emphasis on evaluating the influence of magnesium crystal board (MCB) sheathing on these performance metrics. Particular attention was also paid to the shear deformation behavior of the double-layer bracing system and the distribution of lateral loads among the primary lateral-resisting members, with the objective of evaluating the structural synergy. Based on the test results, skeleton curve and hysteretic models were developed to characterize the mechanical behavior of the structure. Furthermore, theoretical analyses were conducted to predict the peak load-carrying capacity of both sheathed and unsheathed configurations. The experimental results demonstrate that the proposed structure exhibits significantly enhanced shear strength and energy dissipation capacity compared to conventional CFS shear walls. In addition, although the presence of MCB does not alter the ultimate failure mode, it significantly improves the load-carrying capacity and ductility of the structure, and reduces the structural energy dissipation capacity.
为了提高冷弯型钢(CFS)结构的抗侧移能力和抗震能力,提出了一种新型的双层x形支撑剪力板预制框架(CFS- dxbp)。在两个全尺寸试件上进行了准静态试验,研究了它们的破坏机制、抗剪强度、侧移刚度、耗能能力和延性,特别强调了镁晶板(MCB)护套对这些性能指标的影响。特别关注了双层支撑体系的剪切变形行为和主要抗侧构件之间的横向荷载分布,目的是评估结构协同作用。基于试验结果,建立了骨架曲线和滞回模型来表征结构的力学行为。此外,还进行了理论分析,预测了护套和非护套结构的峰值承载能力。试验结果表明,与传统的CFS剪力墙相比,该结构具有显著提高的抗剪强度和耗能能力。此外,MCB的存在虽然没有改变结构的极限破坏模式,但却显著提高了结构的承载能力和延性,降低了结构的耗能能力。

Novel Directly Reusable Column Base Connection: Experimental Investigations on the Effects of Baseplate and Connector Thickness 新型直接可重复使用柱基座连接:底板和连接件厚度影响的实验研究
IF 6.6 1区 工程技术 Q1 ENGINEERING, CIVIL Pub Date : 2026-05-01 Epub Date: 2026-02-12 DOI: 10.1016/j.tws.2026.114666

The significance of reusable connections has surged recently due to increasing waste generation and the extraction of natural resources within the construction industry. The adoption of interlocking systems has become prominent in contemporary structural connections due to their ease of assembly. This paper examines the newly developed hold-down type reusable column base connection, which is based on a plate interlocking mechanism. Specifically, it investigates the effects of base plate thickness and connector thickness under monotonic lateral loading. The reusability of the newly developed connection is demonstrated through repeated loading tests, indicating that the column base connection can be dismantled and reused. The loading regimen includes two initial cycles up to the yield strength, followed by a final loading cycle leading to ultimate failure, thereby establishing the connection's reusability. The degree of semi-rigidity is assessed by comparing the connection's rotational stiffness to that of pinned and fixed connections. The experimental results in this study provided a technical base to understand the structural behaviour of the connection and, in turn, develop a theoretical approach to predict the initial elastic stiffness and yield point of the connection, the key parameters that ascertain its eligibility for reuse. The theoretically predicted values align closely with the experimental results obtained. Additionally, a design example is provided to enhance the readers’ understanding and demonstrate the practical applicability of the developed component model for the proposed interlocking-type column base connection.
最近,由于建筑行业中废物的产生和自然资源的开采,可重复使用连接的重要性激增。由于易于组装,采用联锁系统在当代结构连接中变得突出。本文研究了新开发的基于板联锁机构的压紧式可重复使用柱基座连接。具体而言,研究了单调侧向荷载作用下底板厚度和连接件厚度的影响。通过反复加载试验验证了新开发的连接的可重复使用性,表明柱基座连接可以拆除并重复使用。加载方案包括两个初始循环,直到屈服强度,然后是最终加载循环,导致最终破坏,从而建立连接的可重用性。通过比较连接的转动刚度与钉住连接和固定连接的转动刚度来评估半刚性程度。本研究的实验结果为理解连接的结构行为提供了技术基础,进而发展了一种理论方法来预测连接的初始弹性刚度和屈服点,这是确定其重复使用资格的关键参数。理论预测值与实验结果吻合较好。此外,还提供了一个设计实例,以加深读者的理解,并说明所开发的构件模型对所提出的联锁式柱基座连接的实用性。

Correlation analysis of wind pressure on tracking photovoltaic panels and development of a multivariate joint probability density function model in complex near-ground wind conditions 近地面复杂风况下跟踪光伏板风压相关性分析及多元联合概率密度函数模型建立

Wind pressure measurements from tracking photovoltaic panels in complex near‐ground environments exhibit significant spatial correlations, which are crucial for accurate wind pressure field modeling. This study proposes a comprehensive framework for constructing a joint probability density function (JPDF) model for multivariate wind pressure fields. Detailed analyses reveal that the correlation between wind pressure measurements is strongly dependent on panel tilt angle and wind direction; for example, correlation coefficients increase markedly with tilt angles above 15°, often exceeding 0.75 at 60° tilt, and are higher for near head-on wind directions compared to more oblique incidences. To capture the complex distribution characteristics, a flexible mixture model is employed to effectively describe the marginal distributions of wind pressure data. Various Copula functions are then integrated to model the interdependencies among measurement points, with optimal selections determined via AIC, BIC, HQIC, and SIC criteria. The results indicate that the Student-t Copula and Gumbel Copula are predominant in the optimal models, with the Student-t Copula accounting for 77%–80% of cases, and a maximum error below 8%. These findings underscore the importance of incorporating spatial correlation in JPDF modeling, significantly enhancing the reliability and precision of wind pressure field predictions, and providing valuable insights for structural wind load design in complex environments.
在复杂的近地环境中跟踪光伏板的风压测量显示出显著的空间相关性,这对于精确的风压场建模至关重要。本文提出了构建多变量风压场联合概率密度函数(JPDF)模型的综合框架。详细分析表明,风压测量值之间的相关性强烈依赖于面板倾角和风向;例如,倾斜角大于15°时,相关系数显著增加,在倾斜角为60°时,相关系数通常超过0.75,而在近正风向时,相关系数高于斜风向。为了捕捉复杂的分布特征,采用柔性混合模型有效地描述了风压数据的边缘分布。然后集成各种Copula函数来模拟测量点之间的相互依赖关系,并通过AIC, BIC, HQIC和SIC标准确定最佳选择。结果表明,最优模型中以Student-t Copula和Gumbel Copula占优势,其中Student-t Copula占77% ~ 80%,最大误差在8%以下。这些发现强调了将空间相关性纳入JPDF建模的重要性,显著提高了风压场预测的可靠性和精度,并为复杂环境下的结构风荷载设计提供了有价值的见解。

Ferritic stainless steel built-up I-section columns: Testing, numerical modelling and design 铁素体不锈钢组合式工字钢柱:试验、数值模拟和设计
IF 6.6 1区 工程技术 Q1 ENGINEERING, CIVIL Pub Date : 2026-05-01 Epub Date: 2026-02-26 DOI: 10.1016/j.tws.2026.114726

Cold-formed steel built-up section members have attracted increasing interest due to their potential to provide higher load-carrying capacity than conventional single-section members. Ferritic stainless steels, characterised by their low nickel content, offer a cost-effective and sustainable alternative to austenitic grades, while maintaining adequate mechanical properties and corrosion resistance. This paper investigates the structural behaviour and capacity of ferritic stainless steel built-up I-section columns failing by local buckling and local–flexural interactive buckling. An experimental programme was first conducted, including tensile coupon tests, measurements of initial global and local geometric imperfections, and axial compression tests on ten built-up I-section column specimens. Each specimen comprised two identical press-braked ferritic stainless steel channel sections connected using self-drilling screws. Subsequently, finite element models were developed and validated against experimental results. Parametric studies were carried out to discuss the effects of key design parameters. The accuracy and reliability of the codified Effective Width Method and Direct Strength Method in predicting the capacities of ferritic stainless steel built-up I-section columns were evaluated, indicating that: (i) the Effective Width Method offers consistently conservative predictions, underestimating column failure loads by 10% on average; (ii) the Direct Strength method yields greater scatter but improved accuracy, underestimating load-carrying capacities by an average of 1%; (iii) the Effective Width Method provides accurate and consistent predictions for columns failing by local buckling, while its predictions for local–flexural interactive buckling are more scattered and conservative; (iv) both methods exhibit increasingly conservative and scattered predictions as the column slenderness increases. In summary, the existing codified design methods specified in AISI S100 can be extended to the design of ferritic stainless steel built-up I-section columns.
冷弯型钢组合截面构件由于其比传统的单截面构件具有更高的承载能力而引起了人们越来越多的兴趣。铁素体不锈钢的特点是镍含量低,是奥氏体不锈钢的一种具有成本效益和可持续性的替代品,同时保持足够的机械性能和耐腐蚀性。本文研究了局部屈曲和局部弯曲相互作用屈曲破坏的铁素体不锈钢组合工字钢柱的结构性能和承载力。首先进行了一项试验方案,包括拉伸试验、初始整体和局部几何缺陷的测量以及10个工字截面柱试件的轴向压缩试验。每个样品包括两个相同的压制动铁素体不锈钢通道段,使用自钻螺钉连接。随后,建立了有限元模型,并根据实验结果进行了验证。进行了参数化研究,讨论了关键设计参数的影响。对规范的有效宽度法和直接强度法预测铁素体不锈钢组合式工字钢柱承载力的准确性和可靠性进行了评价,结果表明:(1)有效宽度法预测结果保守,平均低估柱破坏荷载10%;(ii)直接强度法产生了更大的分散,但提高了精度,平均低估了1%的承载能力;(3)有效宽度法对局部屈曲破坏提供了准确一致的预测,而对局部弯曲相互作用屈曲的预测较为分散和保守;(iv)随着柱长细度的增加,两种方法的预测结果越来越保守和分散。综上所述,AISI S100中规定的现有规范设计方法可以扩展到铁素体不锈钢组合式工字截面柱的设计中。

This study investigates the dissipation effects and underlying mechanisms of lightweight spherical skeletons (LSSs) embedded in liquid-filled structures under impact loads induced by high-speed projectile water entry. Leveraging the characteristics of shock waves and cavitation extrusion loads generated by high-speed projectile penetration, we designed shock tube experiments and ballistic impact tests, which were complemented by numerical simulations to quantify the dissipation effects of LSSs and analyze their working mechanisms. Results indicate that the LSSs can induce asynchronous reflection and transmission of shock waves. The average pressure peak attenuation rate of the wavefront follows a power law with the number of LSSs. Furthermore, the LSSs can effectively enhance the flow resistance of the liquid, mitigate cavitation extrusion loads on the structure, and thus significantly suppress the global deformation of the liquid-filled structure’s front and rear plates.

Design shear capacity of steel beams with compact flanges and slender corrugated webs 设计具有紧凑法兰和细长波纹腹板的钢梁的抗剪能力

Previous studies on corrugated web steel beams (CWSBs) have indicated that their shear capacity is often not fully utilized because premature local flange buckling occurs when the flange outstand is excessive. Despite extensive research efforts and various proposed design equations, inconsistencies persist in accurately evaluating the shear resistance of beams with compact flanges and slender corrugated webs (CFSCWBs). This study emphasizes the structural advantages of CFSCWBs, in which compact flanges effectively resist yielding and local buckling, thereby enabling the web to mobilize its full shear capacity once the flange undergoes limited yielding. An innovative method for evaluating shear capacity is proposed, building upon prior research and the provisions of Eurocode 3. The reliability of the proposed approach is substantiated through experimental testing on CFSCWB specimens and numerical simulations.

以往对波纹腹板钢梁的研究表明,当凸缘突出过大时,往往会发生过早的局部凸缘屈曲,从而使波纹腹板钢梁的抗剪能力得不到充分发挥。尽管进行了大量的研究工作,提出了各种设计方程,但在准确评估具有紧凑法兰和细长波纹腹板(cfscwb)的梁的抗剪能力方面仍然存在不一致性。本研究强调了cfscwb的结构优势,紧凑的法兰有效地抵抗屈服和局部屈曲,从而使腹板在法兰有限屈服时充分发挥其抗剪能力。基于先前的研究和欧洲规范3的规定,提出了一种评估抗剪能力的创新方法。通过CFSCWB试件试验和数值模拟验证了该方法的可靠性。建立了包含初始缺陷、残余应力和材料非线性的有限元模型,并根据三点和四点加载条件下的实验数据进行了验证。使用验证过的模型进行参数分析,以考察所提出方法的结果,包括各种参数,如水平褶皱与腹板高度的比例,法兰厚度和法兰屈服。在试验和分析的基础上,提出了CFSCWB抗剪承载力的计算公式。该方法可以预测CFSCWB的剪切能力,最大方差为±10%。

Dual-plateau crashworthiness characteristics of star-shaped honeycombs with non-conventional semicircular ligaments 具有非常规半圆形韧带的星形蜂窝的双平台耐撞特性

This study proposes a novel star-shaped honeycomb with non-conventional semicircular ligaments (SH-SL), characterized by an asymmetric ligament design where the horizontal semicircular ligament (HSL) acts as a deformation trigger to program a sequential collapse. Through combined experimental, numerical, and theoretical analyses, the SH-SL exhibits a stable dual-plateau compressive response: an initial plateau governed by progressive bending of the HSL, followed by a secondary stress elevation due to inclined-wall contact and engagement of vertical ligaments. A newly introduced dimensionless collision coefficient enables the a priori classification of deformation into contact or non-contact modes, leading to more accurate stress predictions. Theoretical models for elastic modulus and dual-plateau stresses are developed and validated. Parametric studies reveal that reducing the HSL radius promotes controlled wall contact, activating the second plateau and significantly enhancing post-yield performance. Compared to the traditional star-shaped honeycomb (TSH), the optimized SH-SL achieves nearly double the plateau stress and a 3.5-fold increase in specific energy absorption, while also demonstrating a 5.5 times higher elastic modulus. These advancements position the SH-SL as a promising lightweight metamaterial for impact-protection applications requiring high stiffness and superior energy absorption.
本研究提出了一种具有非常规半圆韧带(SH-SL)的新型星形蜂窝,其特点是不对称的韧带设计,其中水平半圆韧带(HSL)作为变形触发器来编程顺序崩溃。通过结合实验、数值和理论分析,SH-SL表现出稳定的双平台压缩响应:最初的平台由HSL的渐进弯曲控制,随后是由于斜壁接触和垂直韧带接合而产生的二次应力升高。新引入的无因次碰撞系数可以将变形先验地分类为接触或非接触模式,从而更准确地预测应力。建立并验证了弹性模量和双平台应力的理论模型。参数研究表明,减小HSL半径可促进可控壁面接触,激活第二平台,显著提高屈服后性能。与传统的星形蜂窝(TSH)相比,优化后的星形蜂窝的平台应力提高了近一倍,比能吸收提高了3.5倍,弹性模量提高了5.5倍。这些进步使SH-SL成为一种有前途的轻质超材料,适用于需要高刚度和卓越能量吸收的冲击保护应用。

Application and prediction models of calibrated multi-surface scale parameters in shear deformation theories for flexural vibration of circular nanoplates 校正多表面尺度参数在圆形纳米片弯曲振动剪切变形理论中的应用及预测模型

Coupled models that integrate surface elasticity with shear deformation theories, including Kirchhoff plate theory (KPT), first-order shear deformation theory (FSDT), and third-order shear deformation theory (TSDT), provide essential bridges for investigating nanomechanics problems in thin-walled structures. However, the calibration and applicability of multi-surface scale parameters in the coupled models remain key technical challenges. In this paper, an improved Legendre polynomial method is extended to obtain the first four orders of analytical solutions for the flexural vibration of coupled models with complex surface elastic boundary conditions. Molecular dynamics (MD) simulations are employed to determine the natural frequencies using an asymmetric excitation approach. A novel calibration method that accounts for the coupled interactions among multi-surface scale parameters is developed. Notably, the calibrated results are presented as planar distributions rather than conventional discrete points, and the calibrated plane derived from KPT is located below those of FSDT and TSDT. The KPT model achieves calibration accuracy comparable to the other two theories, while requiring smaller surface elastic parameters and surface residual stress, along with larger surface density parameters. The calibrated models reduce the error in characterizing flexural vibration to 0.09%. In addition, predictive models are developed to directly estimate the multi-surface scale parameters in the coupled models. These models significantly enhance the engineering applicability of multi-surface scale parameters by eliminating complex numerical procedures and costly MD simulations. These findings provide important theoretical guidance for improving the stability and reliability of nanodevices.
结合表面弹性和剪切变形理论的耦合模型,包括Kirchhoff板理论(KPT)、一阶剪切变形理论(FSDT)和三阶剪切变形理论(TSDT),为研究薄壁结构的纳米力学问题提供了重要的桥梁。然而,耦合模型中多面尺度参数的标定和适用性仍然是关键的技术挑战。本文将改进的Legendre多项式方法推广到具有复杂表面弹性边界条件的耦合模型弯曲振动的前四阶解析解。采用分子动力学(MD)模拟,采用非对称激励方法确定了固有频率。提出了一种考虑多表面尺度参数间耦合相互作用的标定方法。值得注意的是,校准结果呈现为平面分布,而不是传统的离散点,并且由KPT得到的校准平面位于FSDT和TSDT的校准平面下方。KPT模型的校准精度与其他两种理论相当,同时需要较小的表面弹性参数和表面残余应力,以及较大的表面密度参数。校正后的模型将表征弯曲振动的误差降低到0.09%。此外,还建立了预测模型来直接估计耦合模型中的多面尺度参数。这些模型通过消除复杂的数值过程和昂贵的MD模拟,显著提高了多表面尺度参数的工程适用性。这些发现为提高纳米器件的稳定性和可靠性提供了重要的理论指导。

Stability reliability analysis of kiewitt single-layer gridshells with experimentally validated topology-constrained initial imperfections 具有实验验证的拓扑约束初始缺陷的kiewitt单层网格壳稳定性可靠性分析
IF 6.6 1区 工程技术 Q1 ENGINEERING, CIVIL Pub Date : 2026-05-01 Epub Date: 2026-02-12 DOI: 10.1016/j.tws.2026.114669

This study provides a comprehensive stability reliability analysis of the Kiewitt single-layer gridshell (SLG) under actual topology-constrained initial imperfection fields proposed by the constrained stochastic imperfection modal method (CSIMM). A measurement experiment of scaled SLG is carried out, and the consistency between the measured and simulation results further validates the rationality of the CSIMM. Based on the validated imperfection field simulation theory, the influence of key parameters variability on the probability distribution of nonlinear buckling capacity (NBC) for imperfect SLGs is revealed, among which the load condition variability significantly influences the probability distribution of NBC, whereas the effect of material properties variability remains minimal. Subsequently, NBC probability distributions of 24 typical perfect Kiewitt SLGs with consideration of key parameters variability are obtained for probability reliability analysis, on which basis the reliability significance of NBC derived from the prevalent eigenmode imperfection method (EIM) is clarified, indicating that the EIM fails to ensure sufficient safety margins under actual imperfection fields. Meanwhile, several recommendations for current specification revision are offered: the imperfection amplitude is suggested to be adjusted to 1/1500 of structural span; for designer acceptable assurance rates of 99% and 95%, the safety factors are advised to be 1.44 and 1.30, respectively. As a result of reliability analysis, a novel calculation method of NBC for imperfect SLGs with topology-constrained imperfection fields is proposed, which comprises a benchmark method using Monte Carlo simulation and a simplified method according to the modified specification.
本文采用约束随机缺陷模态法(CSIMM)对实际拓扑约束初始缺陷场下的Kiewitt单层网格壳(SLG)进行了全面的稳定性可靠度分析。进行了缩放SLG的测量实验,测量结果与仿真结果的一致性进一步验证了CSIMM的合理性。基于已验证的缺陷场模拟理论,揭示了关键参数变异性对不完善slg非线性屈曲能力概率分布的影响,其中载荷条件变异性对非线性屈曲能力概率分布的影响显著,而材料性能变异性的影响较小。随后,获得了考虑关键参数变异性的24个典型完美Kiewitt slg的NBC概率分布,进行了概率可靠性分析,在此基础上,阐明了由流行特征模态缺陷法(EIM)推导出的NBC的可靠性意义,表明EIM在实际缺陷场下不能保证足够的安全裕度。同时,对现行规范的修订提出了几点建议:建议将缺陷幅值调整为结构跨度的1/1500;对于99%和95%的设计者可接受保证率,建议安全系数分别为1.44和1.30。在可靠性分析的基础上,提出了一种具有拓扑约束缺陷域的不完善slg的NBC计算方法,该方法包括蒙特卡罗模拟基准法和改进规范简化法。
